Gift of Light – Buy and install solar power for a mothers waiting hut
Suggested donation
£595.00 each
In Papua New Guinea, rural areas without reliable electricity pose the greatest danger to women in labour. MAF is partnering with Dr Freda Wemin to roll out ‘Mama’s Waiting Hut’ initiative, which uses solar power to light remote clinics and making childbirth safer.
MAF Technologies PNG Electrician Simeon Tom has been carrying out the solar installations and has witnessed first-hand the dire need for lighting:
‘The only source of light available is from torches that the community health workers use, but once the battery goes, they are left to rely on their mobile phone torch, which runs down the phone battery very quickly. Until I did this installation for the Mama’s Waiting Hut lighting project, I never knew how challenging it was for mothers in remote communities who need help during labour. Solar power will have a huge impact on the lives of the mother, her unborn child, and community health worker.’
Donate £199 and provide one solar panel kit.
Donate £595 to provide and install solar power for a mother’s waiting hut.
